Posted by Someone Else at 12:55pm Apr 17 '12said that the movie sort of took Haymitch's alcoholism from "coping mechanism for all the shit he's been through and all the kids he's had to send off to their deaths" to "quaint character quirk"...and it was a very apt way to describe it. I was very disappointed in that, too. But of all the greater details for them to cut out, I felt like that one wasn't hugely necessary, and was okay with its omission. Not thrilled, at all...but okay with it.
